Are Community Council meetings open to the public?

Yes.  You are welcome to attend.  Meetings normally take place on the first Monday of the month at 7.30pm at 81 Carmichael Place.  We do not meet in August.  If there is a Bank Holiday on the first Monday, the meeting date may be moved to the 2nd Monday of the month.

How can I become a Community Councillor?

If you are a resident in this area and are over 16, contact chair@lbccc.org.uk for a preliminary discussion and nomination form.

Elections for vacancies take place at the October meeting, but if vacancies occur during the year, members can be elected or co-opted at other times.

How can I find out and comment on a planning application?

You can now find out about current planning applications on the City Council website (www.glasgow.gov.uk) under Business, then Planning.  The same site has advice and a downloadable leaflet ‘Have Your Say’ about how to make a comment.  This also explains the grounds upon which you can object to an application.

The email address for comments is: planning.representations@drs.glasgow.gov.uk

Representations should be sent to: 

Development & Regeneration Services, Development Control, 229 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1QU.

How can I find out about licensing applications?

The City’s website (www.glasgow.gov.uk) ‘Business’ section contains information about the City’s power to issue licenses and permits through the Licensing Board and its sub-committees.  There you can find links to advice on procedures applicable to animals, food & drink, charitable collections, entertainment, taxis & private hire cars, houses in multiple occupation, civil marriages, safety of sports grounds and trading.

How can I contact the Community Council?

For general enquires, please email our Secretary, Jan McGhie at secretary@lbccc.org.uk or simply come to a meeting!  Please note, we ask for your name, address and email so we can respond to your enquiry and we may retain this for a limited period for record purposes.

Can I raise an issue at the Community Council?

Yes.  At every meeting the Chair will, towards the end of the agenda, ask if there are any issues visitors may wish to raise.
